Chapter 625 Shocking Secrets (I)
Three hours ago...
When Xunzhen told Luo Tianjin the secret that Liu Xunyi was a spy for the imperial court, his mood was like the Yellow River bursting its banks, ups and downs and churning endlessly.
Once upon a time, he was indeed full of doubts about Liu Xunyi's origins. Even to this day, deep in his heart he still had some complaints about the fact that Liu Xunyi came from Fan Humen in Jiangling.
However, throughout the more than two years that Liu Xunyi has been in the Xianwang Mansion, he has always been loyal and reliable, especially in the repeated "battles" between Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu, Liu Xunyi has repeatedly turned the tide in times of crisis with his own strength.
In the past two years, Liu Xunyi's outstanding military achievements for the Xianwang Mansion and Luo Tianjin are no less than those of the seven heroes in the mansion back then.
He traveled all over the country, climbed mountains and crossed ridges, risked his life, and licked blood on the edge of a knife. Liu Xunyi's position in Luo Tianjin's heart was not obtained by any opportunistic means, but by his own strength and loyalty, fighting back bit by bit.
Because of this, Luo Tianjin slowly let down his guard towards Liu Xunyi, and began to accept him, win him over, and even personally trained and cultivated him, and at one point regarded him as the future heir to the Xianwang Mansion.
Luo Tianjin has never given such love to anyone except his own son Luo Hongxuan.
This shows how important Liu Xunyi's position and weight are in Luo Tianjin's heart.
Betrothing his precious daughter to Liu Xunyi was undoubtedly a signal of a turning point. It meant that Luo Tianjin had truly transformed Liu Xunyi from a trusted disciple to a family member, a family member who was treated equally with Luo Hongxuan and Luo Ningyu.
Just when everything was about to get back on track, Xunzhen brought Luo Tianjin devastating news.
The blow this incident dealt to Luo Tianjin was even more severe than when Luo Hongxuan committed suicide by slapping himself.
The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. Being deceived and used by the person whom he admired the most, trusted the most, and had the highest hopes for, this feeling made Luo Tianjin feel ashamed and angry to the point of going crazy.
As much as Luo Tianjin loved Liu Xunyi in the past, he hates her as much today.
For this reason, Luo Tianjin became furious and issued two orders on the spot.
First, he ordered Xie Xuan to arrest Liu Xunyi immediately. Second, he summoned all the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion to the central hall. He wanted to throw Liu Xunyi, the traitor, into the oil pan in public to vent his anger.
Shortly after the order was issued, Luo Ningyu came to Luo Tianjin angrily and demanded an explanation from him.
In desperation, Luo Tianjin had to tell Luo Ningyu the truth about Liu Xunyi's "crime". After all, Liu Xunyi was her most beloved man.
If Luo Tianjin still has any concerns about executing Liu Xunyi today, it is undoubtedly his precious daughter, Luo Ningyu.
Karma goes round and round, good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished, and who lives and who dies is the law of nature. Only Luo Ningyu is the completely innocent person in the whole thing.
It was also for this reason that when Luo Ningyu hid outside the study and eavesdropped on the conversation between Luo Tianjin and Xie Xuan, Luo Tianjin turned a blind eye and did not stop them.
In this regard, Luo Tianjin gave Xie Xuan the following reason: "I know Yu'er's character very well. She will definitely go to Danfeng Garden to find Liu Xunyi and try every means to persuade him to leave. In this case, I will simply give her a chance to say goodbye to Liu Xunyi. This can be regarded as a little compensation from me as a father... to my daughter."
After the discussion, Luo Tianjin left Prince Xian’s Mansion alone, quietly followed Luo Ningyu, and walked towards Danfeng Garden at a leisurely pace.
At this time, Luo Tianjin had secretly made up his mind that he would ask Zhao Yuan for the person openly later.
First, he wanted to capture Liu Xunyi and kill him to vent his anger. Second, he wanted to take this opportunity to confront Zhao Yuan and force him to leave Luoyang City.
After all, Luo Tianjin today does not want to fall out with the Song Dynasty court.
Although he was angry, he still had reason. He knew that some people were insignificant and could be killed, such as Liu Xunyi. But some people were serious and could not be killed, such as Zhao Yuan, the imperial envoy for appeasement.
As it was still early, there were few pedestrians on the streets of Luoyang City, and the occasional people were some street vendors setting up morning stalls.
In the early morning of the coldest month of winter, the wind is bound to be bone-chilling. Especially the pervasive cold air, which penetrates into the body through the neck and cuffs. Even if you are wearing thick cotton clothes, you still can't help shivering from the inside out.
However, for Luo Tianjin today, no matter how cold the weather is, it cannot make up for the chill in his heart. No matter how strong the cold wind is, it cannot extinguish the raging anger in his heart.
When he thought of all the kindness he had shown to Liu Xunyi in the past two years, Luo Tianjin gritted his teeth in hatred and quickened his pace.
He now wished he could catch Liu Xunyi right away and cut him into pieces on the spot.
"You are in such a hurry, where are you going?"
When Luo Tianjin turned into a street in the east of the city, a hoarse and dry voice suddenly rang out.
Luo Tianjin was suddenly awakened from his thoughts and looked hurriedly, but saw two tall and sturdy figures standing on the empty street ten meters away.
The person in front was wearing a black satin brocade robe, a black velvet cloak, and a golden mask on his face. His whole body was wrapped tightly, leaving only his eyes, nostrils and mouth exposed.
The one behind was as strong as an ox, with a body as big as a mountain, a face full of flesh, white mist coming out of his nostrils from time to time, and a huge copper hammer that made people tremble with fear on his shoulder.
These two people are none other than the Holy Lord of Longxiang Mountain, Yun Zhuiyue, and the Dharma Protector Shao Yuanqing.
Luo Tianjin recognized the man at first sight, and immediately frowned. Then, he suppressed his surprise and asked calmly, "When did Saint Yun come to Luoyang City? Why didn't you let me know in advance so that I could welcome you?"
"Luo Tianjin, there are no outsiders here, stop pretending in front of me!" Yun Zhuiyue said with disgust, "Others recognize you as the leader of the martial arts world, but I don't."
Seeing that Yun Zhuiyue had come with ill intentions, Luo Tianjin's gentle expression gradually faded, and he said thoughtfully, "As I expected, the thief who broke into Prince Xian's mansion a few nights ago...should be related to you?"
"So what?" Yun Zhuiyue answered without hesitation.
"What do you want to know? You can just ask me directly. Why do you have to do such dirty things?"
"When it comes to stealing and being mean, how can I compare to you?" Yun Zhuiyue did not show any weakness and retorted, "You look so worried, does it seem like there is something urgent?"
Hearing this, Luo Tianjin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense, where is Yan Bugui?"
"Where she's supposed to be."
"Yan Bugui's disappearance is indeed related to you." Luo Tianjin said angrily, "Yun Zhuiyue, you are so bold that you dare to act rashly in Luoyang City? Hand over Yan Bugui quickly if you know what's good for you. Otherwise..." "You want to scare me?" Yun Zhuiyue said contemptuously, "Others are afraid of you, but I treat you like nothing."
"What on earth do you want to do in Luoyang City?" Luo Tianjin asked, "If I remember correctly, the Xianwang Mansion has not sent you a wedding invitation."
"Wedding invitation?" Yun Zhuiyue asked with a smile, "At this point, do you still have the leisure to hold a wedding?"
Shao Yuanqing mocked, "Recently, the Xianwang Mansion has been in turmoil. There is no hope for a wedding, so it's better to hold a funeral! Haha..."
"What did you say?"
How could Luo Tianjin tolerate such humiliation? Especially in his own territory. Therefore, his eyes turned cold, and his figure immediately turned into a shadow, and he instantly rushed in front of Shao Yuanqing like a ghost.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
How could Shao Yuanqing show weakness? He shouted loudly, swung the copper hammer quickly, and smashed it hard at Luo Tianjin who was coming towards him.
"Oh!"
With a loud bang, Luo Tianjin's right palm slammed hard on the copper hammer with such force that Shao Yuanqing had far exceeded his expectations. He was startled and stepped back seven or eight steps before he managed to steady himself.
"What an amazing inner strength!"
Before Shao Yuanqing could express his emotion, Luo Tianjin flipped his palm and a powerful energy gushed out, shooting straight at Shao Yuanqing like thunder and lightning.
"Keng!"
In a hurry, Shao Yuanqing hurriedly swung his hammer to block, but Yun Zhuiyue was one step faster and took the initiative to strike, creating a ripple of energy, which completely offset Luo Tianjin's attack.
"court death……"
"Luo Tianjin, I'm not looking for you today to fight!"
Luo Tianjin wanted to attack again, but unexpectedly Yun Zhuiyue stood in front of Shao Yuanqing and said coldly: "I have something to say to you."
"What else is there to talk about between you and me?" Seeing Yun Zhuiyue obstructing him, Luo Tianjin was very angry.
Yun Zhuiyue did not rush to answer, but glanced at Shao Yuanqing.
Shao Yuanqing understood and glared at Luo Tianjin fiercely, then walked towards the end of the street.
"Where to go?"
"Luo Tianjin, I know you're in a bad mood today and you're full of anger. But you shouldn't be like a mad dog and bite everyone you meet!" Yun Zhuiyue said jokingly, "Don't you want to hear what I have to say?"
Looking at Shao Yuanqing who was walking away, the anger in Luo Tianjin's eyes gradually disappeared. He turned his scrutiny to Yun Zhuiyue who was pretending to be profound, and said in a cold voice: "No matter what you want to say to me, if you dare to find trouble with me in Luoyang City, I will make sure that you have no way to go to heaven or to the earth! Don't think that you can do whatever you want with the support of Chief Teng and Rou'er behind you. I am the leader of the martial arts world. I can save you from the bad fate of being killed by everyone, but I can also make you the target of public criticism."
“Luo Tianjin, after taking the position of leader of the martial arts world, you have become more and more arrogant.” Yun Zhuiyue sneered indifferently.
"I don't want to hear your nonsense!" Luo Tianjin said impatiently, "I have something important to do today and I don't have time to bother with you."
"What's the important matter?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Are we going to kill Liu Xunyi?"
"hiss!"
Just these one sentence startled Luo Tianjin.
"How do you know?" After hesitating for a while, Luo Tianjin finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "What else do you know?"
"I know much more than you think." Yun Zhuiyue sneered, "Luo Tianjin, being deserted by everyone... isn't it uncomfortable?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Tianjin felt as if he had been hit on the head. There was an instant buzzing in his head. He stared blankly at Yun Zhuiyue who was so secretive, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Luo Tianjin didn't know when Yun Zhuiyue came to Luoyang City, and he didn't know how many secrets Yun Zhuiyue knew about him.
But through these two simple sentences, Luo Tianjin was already certain in his heart that Yun Zhuiyue was definitely well prepared and was well aware of the current situation of Prince Xian's Mansion.
At this moment, Luo Tianjin's mind was in a mess. No matter how hard he thought, he still couldn't figure it out. So he made up his mind and said straight to the point: "Yun Zhuiyue, what do you want to say?"
"Liu Xunyi, you can't kill me!"
Yun Zhuiyue has a strange temperament and is moody. He was laughing wildly and threatening just now, but in the blink of an eye his eyes became serious and his words were sonorous.
"What?" Luo Tianjin was unable to react for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Why can't I kill him?"
"If you kill him, not only will you regret it for the rest of your life, but Rou'er will also hate you to the core." When Yun Zhuiyue said this, she seemed to be in great pain, so her tone became a little ferocious, "If it weren't for Rou'er's feelings, I... would have you kill each other!"
"What do you mean?" Luo Tianjin was confused, and his mind became more and more confused. "What do you mean by killing each other? What does it have to do with you if I kill Liu Xunyi? And what does it have to do with Rou'er?"
"Because... Liu Xunyi is your and Rou'er's biological child!"
